Utilizing YouTube to enhance a Power point presentation.

Utilizing YouTube to locate video's that enhance a power point presentation can be very inspiring.  Go to YOUTUBE enter your search word then preview the presentations to choose the one best suited to your PowerPoint.  Steps needed to embed a YouTube can be found by typing in search for embedding YouTube to PowerPoint presentation.  I found it challenging to actually embed the selection from YouTube.  I had to run the process three times to get it embedded and saved.  This technique can add information, graphics, animation, and visual activities which support your presentation.  The steps I used are:  In you PowerPoint have your curser on the slide where you want the YouTube embedded, click on developer, click on Hammer/Wrench icon, click on shockwave, click ok, Click on properties, on movie tab insert URL address from YouTube,  in the URL delete the word watch and ? mark then delete the = sign and add the/ sign, click on embed and change to true, click in box of slide where you want the YouTube to be and click F5 then save.  Following these steps you should be able to attach and embed your YouTube selection to your powerpoint presentation.  Have fun checking out the YouTube presentations that are available.  ( you may have to download shock wave if you do not all ready have it on your system)
